Overview
- Kim Kardashian is set to testify in Paris today, detailing the 2016 armed robbery in which she was bound, gagged, and robbed of $10 million in jewelry, including a $4 million diamond ring.
- The trial, which began in late April and is scheduled to conclude on May 23, involves ten defendants, most in their 60s and 70s, dubbed the 'Grandpa Robbers' by French media.
- Two suspects, Yunice Abbas and Aomar Ait Khedache, have admitted their roles in the heist, with Abbas even writing a memoir, while eight others deny involvement.
- Investigators linked the suspects to the crime through DNA evidence left at the scene and allege the robbers tracked Kardashian's movements via her social media posts.
- The robbery, France's largest private theft in two decades, has led to heightened awareness of celebrity security risks and social media vulnerabilities.
